Mofongo Recipe- Easy fried, mashed green plantains infused with garlic and fried pork skin stuffed with a mouthwatering shrimp sauce. Top them with more shrimp for an insanely delicious one-dish meal! 😍
This easy mofongo recipe is on repeat in my kitchen because we cant get enough. This tropical goodness will transport you to the islands or Africa.
If the thought of making chicharrones intimidates you (its easier than it sounds), you can use good old bacon instead. After making this recipe and comparing it to a restaurant version, I prefer bacon over pork rinds. In the end, I opted to add both, but you can include either or both!
What Is Mofongo?Mofongo is flavorful mashed green plantains, garlic, and pork (chicharrones, pork rinds, or bacon). What could be better? And I think its safe to say that the Puerto Rican mofongo recipe has itsroots in Africa. Mashed plantains are a staple where I grew up.
Then, for an even more decadent mofongo recipe with shrimp, you stuff it with a spicy shrimp sauce, and thats the bomb. 💥 It can be a side for pernil or a main dish.
